Wednesday open thread: If the Lions lose out, should Matt Patricia be fired?

A few weeks back, I asked you all whether Matt Patricia was on the hot seat. I said that, barring an unrealistic scenario of losing out the season, he’ll get another year.

Well, I’m here to tell you I was very wrong. The Lions have lost eight of their last nine games, including five straight, with their lone win coming against the 2-10 New York Giants. The nightmare I called impossible has come to life.

Now with four games left, only two look partially winnable (the Broncos and Buccaneers), but even then I don’t trust this team, particularly the defense, to hold anything together.
